I've been surprised at how many people ask me what kind of car mine is. I also had a redneck approach me from the back of the car and say "That's a nice car. Boxster... who makes that? Dodge?" I thought that was kinda funny.

When people risk their lives, shouldn't it be for something very important?
Well, it better be.
But what is so important about driving faster than anyone else?
Lots of people go through life doing things badly. Racing's important to men who do it well.
When you're racing, it's life. Anything that happens before or after is just waiting.

I've had a funny thing ask when my aunt seen my car the 2nd time, The first time she knew it was a Porsche right away... The second time she seen it, The Porsche emblem was replaced with a RUF emblem and she said oh did you trade your porsche for that Toyota?!!?! Funny how people many people dont know what a porsche is unless they see the hood emblem.

I was sitting in mine, top down, at the marina last summer. A guy walked by, stopped and turned, and asked me "Is that a Ferrari?" Obviously not a car guy.

I've only had mine for around a month, but I'm surprised by how many people think the car is brand new. I almost feel guilty, because I'm generally very modest and would never spend 40-50k on a car. I tell them it was either this or a brand new Civic!
That's one of the great things about the Boxster, it still looks very similar to the new models and has a timeless design.

Falling victim to a speed trap here in So. Cal., and in middle of doing some radio up-grades; so radio missing; as the Police Officer was handing me my ticket, he noticed the missing radio and said- "Ha, just like you Prosche guys to remove a $1000,00 dollar radio, just to save a little weight"!

Haha, nice. I would have said "It was stolen... Maybe it wouldn't be missing if you guys weren't wasting so much time writing up traffic violations."
